Play KSR Game Contest: Kentucky v Missouri

[Darrell KSR]

So...basketball goes on. Let's see how the Cats react to some news.

1. Predict the Kentucky margin of victory (+) OR loss (-). If you believe that Kentucky will lose, make sure that you make it clearly known with a -- [minus sign], or something else.

2. Predict the game high scorer, AND the total number of points he will score in the game. NOTE--it does not have to be a Kentucky player for this KSR point.

3. Oh yes they call him the Streak.....predict the Kentucky player who will make the streak of 3-point shots continue, and when he will do it.



4. Predict which team will be ahead after 6:00 of play, and by how many.

Tiebreaker: Combined PAR for Brad Calipari, Michael Porter, Jr., and Sacha Killeya-Jones.

Good luck!

So you prefer "The Streak" over "BOOM goes the Dynamite"

"Raise the bar" Double entendre??

Man, I am loving seeing the confidence in the UK team be rewarded. Cats win by 21, and 14 was a pretty good shot at it, especially considering the line was only -5.5. (Funny how you don't see so many people talking about "how good Vegas is" when the line isn't close).

First point here.

[Darrell KSR]

Mizzou's Robertson tried to do it all himself, and did a workable job of it, leading all scorers with 26, including 6-11 3-pointers, and added 8 rebounds. Not nearly enough, but enough to be game high scorer, and no correct picks here.

[Darrell KSR]

Hami continued the streak with a 3-pointer at the 16:13 mark in the first half, surprising everyone here...although a little credit to Kingcat for picking him to be game high scorer, so he had confidence in the young man, along with Cal. Not that many else did!

No point here.

This one was an interesting one. Cats went on an 8-0 run from the 16:33 mark to 14:28, eliminating a 3-point deficit at 5-2, and establishing a 10-5 lead. At the 14:00 mark, that was still the score, but if Doc had a friendlier timekeeper, the 3-point shot made by Quade Green would've been recorded at 14:00, rather than 13:59, and his 10-point mark would have been the winner, instead of these two.

Gotta admit, lot of credit to you for that 10-point pick. And dang if it wasn't almost right.

Three way tie and we'll go to the tiebreaker. Combined PAR for Calipari, Killeya-Jones and Michael Porter, Jr.

Who knew of those 3 that the largest PAR would belong to.....

Brad Calipari.

Nice trivia question for a bar bet.

Porter did not play, so his PAR was 0
Killeya-Jones played only 5 minutes, with 0 points, assists and rebounds, so his PAR was 0
Calipari played 1 measly minute...yet hit a 3-pointer, so his PAR was 3.

Total: 3

Krank and Catfan73 both had 7, which beat Kingcat's pick of 9, so we have a (fairly rare this year) double induction into the KSR Game Contest Hall of Fame--two winners last night! Congrats, gentlemen!

I think you meant "Krank" as opposed to my man, kingcat.

For reasons that escape me since I am not superstitious, I keep picking Hami as lead scorer, "hoping" (stupidly, since the Game Contest doesn't "care", lol) he will get off the schneid and FINALLY dominate again.

OR one could say that since I have kept picking Hami, he has finally come out of his slump.

You're welcome.

[Catfan73]

Woot! I actually won a tie breaker, at least sort of. I was going to go big on the score, like 20 points big but I was afraid everyone would think I was nuts lol. It’s good to see the Cats trending up and who knows where they’ll level off. I don’t think we’re there yet.

I did, and thank you for his support. He needed it!

Nice to nail a tiebreaker for a change!
